Dear Mama,
I am more than grateful for our relationship and the experiences we shared in the beginning of my life, in the middle and the course we shared at the end of this lifetime. What a gift! I remember the hot dogs, drive in movies, shopping for just the right outfit, beach trips, card games, mother-daughter advice, daughter-mother advice and oh, the last few days with you …
Leslie and I with our late night stories, going on mind voyages, orange juice, holding hands, eye gazing, ‘Danny and The Dinosaur’ reading, long massages, coloring, breathing together, facials, spirituality updates, simply holding space for you and not leaving your side for too long until I was literally pushed out the door. HA! HA! What a crazy trip it’s been!
I remind you even now, that you are surrounded with pure love, that you are fully safe, fully loved and you are embraced by Heavenly Father, safe, content, giggling, cuddled in His arms … Oh, and of course, surrounded by Justin, Dad, your Mom and Dad and dozens of Angels, Elders and Guides whom have gone before you with the intent of holding a warm and special space for you in Heaven until it was your turn.
Until we meet again Mama! Please send me those sparkling vibes of grace, tenderness, wisdom that you are delighting with in Heaven as I send this note, so I’ll practice these things here on earth becoming the version of my best self. So here we go, I’m already looking forward to being with you there where you are now. Where there is ONLY LOVE and KINDNESS ~ Until we meet again ~ Love, Your Daughter, Luana

Our deepest and most honorable condolences to you Louise. A woman who shared with all of us her generosity, her love, her young girl laughter, her advice and wisdom. A woman who welcomed all into her home. The look on your face whenever your grandchildren were around you. The proud face that always took over when your grandson Sam entered the room. Your love for family & friends was always so apparent. Thank you for allowing Angelo, George and I to share the last several years with you of important family celebrations and get togethers. God Bless You!
